There are many places worldwide which were beloved by John Paul II. But among them there are three which can unquestionably be considered the most meaningful ones for him. His birth place – Wadowice – “where everything started” but also where“time was running, eternity was waiting”, Kalwaria Zebrzydowska with its splendid monastery and church, which JPII asked us tovisit “during his life and after his death” and the Sanctuary of Łagiewniki – connected strictly with his message to people about the Divine Mercy of God, which he found in the holy visions of Sister Faustina Kowalska.

Krakow Pilgrimage

We’d highly recommend this tour if you are hoping to experience a pilgrimage in Krakow. Our guide, Kristopher really made us feel welcome as he shared with us the history of the places we were visiting. My mother’s highlight was the cake which St. John Paul enjoyed in his youth after an exam or other special occasion. It was a wonderful day where we could relax and take in important places on our first visit to Krakow.

Excellent pilgrimage tour with Chris

We visited Krakow for one reason only, and that was to fulfill a lifelong dream to do a pilgrimage to the Divine Mercy. Chris was the perfect guide to take us on our pilgrimage because he was full of information about St. Pope John Paul II, and Sr. Faustina and the Divine Mercy Shrine. He picked us up at our hotel, and brought us to Kalwaria Church, to Wadowice where the Pope was born, and to the Shrine (old and new). He was always very nice, very patient, and always gave us enough time to look at things, take pictures, buy souvenirs, and, of course, pray. We even had enough time to enjoy some papal creme cake. He was even able to time it so perfectly that we were able to be at the old Shrine in time for the 3:00 prayer. We even got to hear mass and receive Communion at the new Shrine. He had a nice clean car, and he always drove safely. All in all, it was a perfect trip thanks to Chris, and to God of course. We would highly recommend Chris to anybody wanting to do a pilgrimage to the Divine Mercy.

Private Pope John Paul ll tour with Chris

Very lovely private Wadowice, Kalwaria and Divine Mercy tour with Chris. 100 % recommend taking this tour with Chris. He was a perfect gentleman, friendly, and knew his stuff about Pope John Paul ll. He was prompt and on time for pick up at our hotel and went out of his way to help us throughout the tour. All the places he drove us to were outstanding and followed the planned itinerary. Nothing better than having a one on one tour with a guide who is super courteous, friendly, excellent driver and very knowledgeable about information for your tour. Chris is the owner of this tour company, so if you book this tour, he will be your guide.

Know before you go

When visiting sacred sites in Poland, both men and women should wear clothes that cover their shoulders and their legs to the knee.
Don’t confuse the Family Home of John Paul II in Wadowice with the site of the same name in Krakow: that’s the apartment where the family lived when he was a little older.
Wadowice is known for “the pope’s cream cake” (kremówka papieska), featuring oodles of vanilla custard cream between two thin layers of pastry, so leave room for dessert.
